The Haunting of Cragg Hill House – A Kelsey Porter novel

I’m so excited to announce that Book #4 in my Kelsey Porter thriller series is now live! I wanted to do something a little different with this novel. In the past three books, I have my characters constantly moving all around the globe, and this time I wanted them to simply “stay put” someplace. So much has happened to them over the past year, I just wanted to give them a little peace and quiet. I thought they deserved it after the last novel! So I plopped Kelsey and Desmond in a luxurious, secluded mountain resort for a little weekend get-away. But, of course, the universe does not let Kelsey ever rest… ever.

All she wanted was a weekend away…

“Kelsey and Desmond escape to a Gothic Victorian mountain resort for the weekend, but when they arrive, their idyllic plans begin to unravel fast. Kelsey feels a sinister, dark presence pervading the hotel, and with a snowstorm raging, they are stranded with an evil she cannot name. A fleeting figure screaming down the hallway, staff with missing body parts, and then Desmond disappears, leaving behind a trail of blood. Kelsey soon discovers she’s fighting a deep magic she hasn’t seen in eons and she must figure out what is happening at Cragg Hill House… before it is too late.”

While keeping the book steeped in the Buddhist thriller theme, I wanted to also add a little twist to this. I love horror and all things creepy, so I interweaved a little of that into this novel as well. If you liked my horror anthology, RICKET ROW, you’ll be sure to like the surprises I added to this particular tale.

Hey Elyse, pardon me for the unintended effect, but I am new to you and don’t know much about your series. Are you traditionally published or online process? I am so new to all of this and feel like the proverbial “duck in tall weeds”. Congratulations on the fourth book and your character sound interesting.

Hi Joe, I’m both traditionally and self published. This particular series was with agents for a few years and under consideration, but it got to a point that I simply did not want to wait for years to get this “traditionally published” and so my agent suggested I launch it myself. It’s professionally edited, professional covers, – everything a big house would do. That said, I keep getting the occasional calls from literary houses about going traditionally published about it. Perhaps one day!
